Professional Review Guide for the CCS-P Examination, 2016 Edition (Book Only) 1st Edition

Its a very helpful book, but believe me when i tell you it has soo many errors, printing errors and coding errors. This is a 2016 guide and some of the answers are in icd 9. Made me doubt of myself and is definitely misguiding some people

I want to be clear that I haven't seen the 2007 Edition yet - however think it's worth posting my review of the 2006 one here - as this is where people will be looking past May.I spent a few weeks preparing for my CCS-P, using mainly this book's 2006 edition.It walked me through reviewing coding areas that I needed refreshing on, pointing out to me that, for example, I wasn't as clear as I should be on how to code certain cardiac procedures and needed to spend some time on OB coding.It gave me all I needed - the sample test questions and cases were right on for the exam. The CD was a bonus - simple interface that walks you through multiple questions. Nice.So, I passed. Very nicely. In fact, you could say I met and exceeded all the key components for passing (a little bit of coder humor there!).Thanks, Patricia et al. This really helped me prepare effectively with limited study time. It looks like a huge bit of work to put together - well done.Alec McLure, RHIA, CCS-P

Today I took CCS-P exam and it was no one question from the book. I waisted my time and money for the book. AHIMA sucks.

I loved the fact that the quizzes and test were on the CD disk. You have the option when you are taking the test for it to show you the answers. It explained why you would arrive at those answers. The disk is very helpful for those people that do not like to read a lot of study material when you can actually learn it as you proceed on the disk. All of the material in the book was very informative but I especially liked the Reimbursement section as it shows you how to calculate medicare patients payments and par physicians and non par physicians payments.Sincerely-Julie

great book in preparation for the CCS-P exam, very thorough material, would recommend it highly to anyone who is going to attempt to take the exam.. this a great reference tool!!!
